Answer:

P(a junior or a senior)=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the probability is given by:

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{N}

Where P(A) is the probability of occurring an event A, n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes and N is the total number of outcomes.

In this case, N is the total number of the students of statistics class.

N=18+10=28

The probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events is given by:

P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)

Therefore:

P(a junior or a senior) =P(a junior)+P(a senior)

Because a student is a junior or a senior, not both.

n(a junior)=18

n(a senior)=10

P(a junior)=18/28

P(a senior) = 10/28

P(a junior or a senior) = 18/28 + 10/28

Solving the sum of the fractions:

P(a junior or a senior) = 28/28 = 1

Solve the system of equations below using the substitution method. x = y + 7 / 2 4x − 2y = 8
Verdich [7]

Answer:

y = -3

x = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

4(y + \frac{7}{2}) - 2y = 8  Distribute the 4.  Multiply everything in the parentheses by 4

4y + 14 - 2y = 8           4(\frac{7}{2}) = \frac{28}{2} = 14  Combine the like terms 4y and -2y

2y + 14 = 8         Subtract 14 from both sides

2y =  -6               Divide both sides by 2

y = -3  

Plug -3 in for y in either original equation.

4x - 2y = 8

4x -2(-3) = 8

4x + 6 = 8    Subtract 6 from both sides

4x = 2  Divide both sides by 4

x = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

Check:

x = y + \frac{7}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = -3+ \frac{7}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{-6}{2} + \frac{7}{2}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

4x - 2y = 8

4(\frac{1}{2}) - 2(-3) = 8

2 + 6 = 8

8 = 8

A bicycle manufacturing company makes a particular type of bike. Each child bike requires 4 hours to build and 4 hours to test.
Verdich [7]

 the first option is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

4c + 6a <= 120 [building hours]

4c + 4a <= 100 [testing hours]

4 * 20 + 6 * 6 <= 120

80 + 36 <= 120

116 <= 120

true, they have enough building hours

4 * 20 + 4 * 6 <= 100

80 + 24 <= 100

104 <= 100

false, they won't have enough testing hours

the first option is the answer

Need simplified please
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

7^2 - ( 6-3^3)

PEMDAS

Parentheses first

7^2 - ( 6-3^3)

The exponent in the parentheses first

7^2 - ( 6-27)

7^2 - ( -21)

Now the exponent

49 - (-21)

Now subtract

49 +21
